Hey guys the dynojet dyno is still down until maybe end of next week. There is another dyno jet that I might do 3 runs on. I hate waiting lol. I prrviously made 295 on that dyno before tune. Do you guys think I should wait or just use this one

i dont understand why you're wasting all this money on dyno runs lol. just go run it down the 1/4 mile

The_Assassin

hahaha yea man your right. They closed down our track. The closest track is over a 100 mile commute. I might go in december but first need to get rfp1s and wider tires.

tommy smith

In Florida 100 miles is like around the corner

MPH will show your H.P. better than a dyno. That's because MPH is ALWAYS on a paper time slip and it doesn't matter what color/size or brand the paper is

The_Assassin

Yea hopefully i will be able to go in december once i save up enough to get wheels and tires.

tommy smith

Just go with the street tires. It's good to do that as a base test. The base/first runs will help you understand what type of tires you might need to use.

The_Assassin

Picked these up guys. 560cc injectors. Will be putting them in when I get headers and ported lower plenum.






I have stock tire specs. My time would suck as I spin a lot because of the gears and stock vlsd. Right rear tire is bald.

one wheel wonder...... but after seeing your mustang dyno sheet, why is the filter value 40? mine is 6

just talking out loud btw

** edit, just read that the filter value takes out the jerkiness of the graph.... carry on

tommy smith

After just reading what you posted on top ^^^^ I should have stuck to my promise of not bothering you or reading your posts.

Maybe in a year from now I'll check up on your new mods and new dyno sheets.

The_Assassin

Lol no prob buddy. At the end of the day my car my money my dyno sheets. Enjoy ur life. See ya next year.If you want to see me at thr trackso badly just give me $1900 to buy enkeis and tires. I already told you am going next month or so

Yes seen that and I plan to do a Longtube version as well I think all these would factor I into a nice bump in power.

Longtube 3" intakes
Porting the manifold
Porting the intake runner
Porting the TBs
Injectors
Tune

And hitting the track would be a nice cap on verifying all the mods but then again not everyone is Tommy Smith! I personally would be Heart broken if I couldn't hit a 12.3 with a 300 plus HR Z.

enkeis and tires will spin just as bad at a track. trust me, i've tried. you'll want some slicks for the track. street tires at the track is a waste of time and $

tommy smith

For a long time now I liked and respected you.... Thank you and it's Andre

tommy smith

but it's not a bad idea going stock the first time or even a few times with stock tires. I did that with all my cars and moved on after learning what I need to do, to improve.

As you know, I ended up with slicks but my lsd & axles were stock Nissan.

The_Assassin

With ur weight reduction you should be able to achieve those times at the track. what size is the injen cai?

The_Assassin

@travelee yea i read that somewhere also.



Yew but either way am tired of stock wheels. These aren't just because i want to eventually go to the track. Plus i dont know what to do to reduce wheel hop or whatever am experiencing when i get on it in first gear. Remember i was explaining that to you on instagram. Maybe some of you more experienced guys at the track can help. Maybe I need motor mounts?

Motor mounts have nothing to do with wheel hop. You need solid diff bushings. Or poly

hahaha thats funny the people that say just mod and take it to the track....what a ridicules approach at performance tuning. Dynos and dyno tuning are every bit as important as trap speeds at the track. You get a more comprehensive look at your motor and health of the engine on a dyno than just throwing a bolt on and taking it to the track...thats how it was done in the old days pulling plugs and regapping at the track...stone age methods. Once you get your car DIALED IN, you take it to the track

As far as wheel hop in the Z, stiffer bushing and reduced deflection
you'll also want upper and lower control arms to reduce reciprocating mass and adjusting and lowering pinion angle geometry.

You can ran Enkies at the track too, just get a proper tire set up

tommy smith

What if A person doesn't know how to drive. What if that person is just barely able to street drive, like I barely can write without misspelling

How would that play with what you posted ????

Lol

Well would you rather have seat time in a dialed in car and just worry about fine tuning the driver mod....

Or have an unbalanced platform and driver mod issues as well.... I guess my methodology is different

And don't get me wrong wrong tommy, I do respect your driver skills
